Slavery is alive and well i the modern world. Trafficking sex slaves is big business world wide and has to stop.
I cringe when I see people referring to having a low paying job or being forced to pay taxes or work for a monster corporation as slavery. While those circumstances may not be ideal, or even fair in any sense of the word, they are not slavery.
Throwing around words like slavery, nazi, phobe, etc, just cheapens the word and renders it meaningless. These are not cheap meaningless things. Now we have soup nazi's, traffic nazi's, fashion nazi's, and so on. Someone decided that was a funny term and probably got a laugh or two.
And same day these people will come fact to face with the real deal. I wonder how funny they will think it is...

I don't believe I said American was better or without guilt. We do have laws against this sort of thing though.

The UK did lead, but the US was the only nation that went so far as to fight an internal war to end it. Whatever that means.
